Subclaims¶

q2 i? Rare, highly stressful events (arrest, parental incarceration) show stronger associations with dropout than more common context-dependent events, and events like hospitalization, long working hours, and school mobility predict dropout mainly among students not already at high risk. → Dupéré 2014

Evidence¶

Dupéré 2014¶

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports, citing van Heesch et al., Gasper et al., and Lee & Staff, that hospitalization, long working hours, and school mobility were associated with dropout only among students not particularly at risk, consistent with Moffit's adolescence-limited pathway.

"hospitalization predicted dropout among student in a pre-university tract but not among their usually more at-risk peers in vocational programs"
